The Queensland Health Multicultural Services newsletter is a quarterly publication which, together with Translinks from the Queensland Transcultural Mental Health Centre, is the primary source of information for Queensland Health staff and stakeholders about multicultural health issues.

The Queensland Health Multicultural Services newsletter contains information about the progress of the Queensland Health Strategic Plan for Multicultural Health 2007-2012, which aims to improve the health and well-being of culturally and linguistically diverse Queenslanders. The newsletter also aims to keep staff and stakeholders up-to-date with the latest multicultural health projects, services, research and achievements.
